==============================
OGC(r) Web Feature Service (WFS) Implementation Standard
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The OpenGIS Web Feature Service Interface Standard (WFS) defines an
interface for specifying requests for retrieving geographic features
across the Web using platform-independent calls. The WFS standard
defines interfaces and operations for data access and manipulation
on a set of geographic features.

* v1.1.0: The cardinality of the InsertResults element is 1 which means that
the element must always be present in a transaction response ... even if
that transaction contains no insert actions. The cardinality should be
zero. Every instance that validates against the buggy schema document will
also validate against the fixed schema document. See wfs-1_1_0-1.zip.

* v1.1.0, v1.0.0: The sets of XML Schema Documents for WFS versions have been
edited to reflect the corrigenda to documents OGC 02-058 (WFS 1.0.0) and
OGC 04-09 (WFS 1.1.0) that are based on the change requests:
OGC 05-068r1 "Store xlinks.xsd file at a fixed location"
OGC 05-081r2 "Change to use relative paths"
Note: check each OGC numbered document for detailed changes.
-- [ VERSION NOTES ] --------------------------------------------------
OGC is incrementally changing how schemas will be hosted. A new
revision of the Specification Best Practice policy document (06-135r11)
clarifies this practices.
OGC is moving to host the schemas using a 2 digit version number so
that dependent documents (schemas) will not have to change each time a
schema is corrected (by a corrigendum). The schemas actual version
number will be kept in the version attribute on the schema element
which will be used to signify that there has been a change to the
schema. Each previous revision will be available online in a ZIP
archive.
The LATEST version is the M.N directory where
* M is the major version
* N is the minor version
The latest bugfix version now is always in the M.N directory and
documented in the version attribute on the schema element. The older
versions are now archived in the -M_N_X.zip files.
Previously the OGC used M.N.C where
* M is the major version
* N is the minor version
* C is the corrigendum version
These older M.N.C versions will be updated using M.N.C.X where
X may be a bugfix version. These schema will also be .zip archived.
